No Cowboy No Soldier - Dean Rose (Original Song)

It was high noon in the desert town
Twelve bells ringing out was the only sound
A tumbleweed blew across the sand
Where the undertaker stood with his tape measure in his hand

In the saloon the barman dried a glass
The working girls they weren't making any brass
Coz the men were sipping whiskey gathered round their tables
Nervous as their horses penned up in the stables

Now two men squinted in the blazing sun outside
Fingers itching at the six shots holstered by their side
Suddenly a shot exploded then one shot more
And two men fell into their graves like countless men before I dont wanna be a cowboy I dont wanna play with your deadly toys I was born to create not to destroy I'm never gonna be a cowboy




It was dawning and the skies they were grey
In the muddy trenches behind enemy lines on D-Day
And everyone was wondering yellow black and white
What they were doing here in someone else's fight

Soldiers were looking one last time
At photos of their homes their little ones and wives
Thunder grew nearer the ground it shook
They were hoping peace would be declared to let them off the hook

Suddenly the general gave the dreaded call
"Charge!!" he yelled and he kicked the patriots' ball
Now every man died out on the battlefield that day
Names on a monument a million miles away I dont wanna be a soldier I dont need the weight of no war on my shoulders I was born to love and to hold ya I'm never gonna be a soldier
